RE:But why?
by Pravin N on Apr 18, 2008 11:01 PM

Marathas are the bravest people on the face of the planet. Please read some history. Also, they never fought for themselves but fir hindutva and India. Todays Indian border with pakistan has erie resemblance to the maratha empire in 1761 - 1818. The half of punjab and bengal that are left in India are largely the consequence of marthas defnding the sikhs and bengali hindus against muslim rulers. Please read history. Bajirao I(google it don't take my word) never lost a single battle in his entire life many of which were fought agignst the well armed british.
Lets keep the marathi people and Raj Thakre's belief apart. What India is today is largely a gift of the brave marathas, sikhs, rajputs and others. Lets not trivialise their sacrifises and demean a whole community for the actions of a few.
Long live united India!
